The Little Book of Snooker

The Little Book of Snooker is a wonderful collection of stories about the most hilarious and often embarrassing scenes that that have taken place in the green rooms, hotel rooms and at parties attended by the biggest legends in snooker. These stories have been told by the stars themselves, and many have never been published before. The book also lists the profiles of the contributing players with all their career achievements.

It includes the most important tournaments in the snooker year, the winners and runners-up, as well as featuring a host of fascinating facts, stats, quotes and trivia relating to the green baize.

Just received the book. read first few pages. very interesting with nice little facts and stories such as "How did Alex Higgins wangle a free taxi ride from London to Manchester?" etc

I've received this as well mainly because I'm a bit of a completist as far as collecting snnoker books and also because all profits go to charity. Despite being 130 odd pages long there was very little of the stories, biographies, results etc that I hadn't already known about and there were no pictures at all which made it a bit dull. I'd love a book with some trivia that hasn't already been published e.g. a full list of the BBC snooker musical montages, winners of the various shots of the championship, lists of documentaries/ films/ TV series/ songs on snooker. One book I'd love to see published is a type of companion to the BBC documentary 'When Snooker Rule the World' with loads of colour photo's, which would capture the sheer sense of excitement that the sport conjured in the 1980's.
